Request to return to California

"David,

just checking out your website and wishing you were performing here in southern California. Last year (or was it two years ago), your performance was wonderful. Thank you for all of your songs and the heart in your music.

I am looking forward to seeing you again." -- J. C.

Lucky Man

"Dear David:

I had the pleasure of listening to you for the first time this summer at the Mission Folk Festival. Your performance moved me to tears, especially the song Lucky Man. I bought your CD Far End of Summer and listen to it constantly. I find it difficult to put into words the sheer love and joy that I experience when listening to your music. Somehow you are able to capture the exact mood of a moment and express it in your song and then communicate that exact same mood and feeling to us. That’s a very special gift and I want to thank you so much for sharing your gift. I was just cleaning house and listening again to Lucky Man and felt the need to share this with you.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing you again soon and will keep an eye out on your website for Vancouver dates." K.D.

Wedding Song

"my husband and I absolutely love your music! And we

haven't met a person who doesn't. We have played your CD's for many of our

friends and family, and to our great surprise, at EVERY wedding we attended

this year, we heard your music, used during ceremony's, and receptions.

One of my cousins actually walked the isle to "Come rain or come shine".

Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us!" M.M.

Lucky Woman

"Good morning Beth:

Just to let you know that I saw David and Craig last night at St. Andrew's Church and was once again moved to tears...something about your old man does it to me. You're a very lucky woman, he speaks constantly of how lucky he is to have you. Anyway, just thought I would let you know how much I enjoyed last night... " S.

Dancing to David

"To David,

Recently my husband & I along with our 7 week old daughter attended your performance at the Alix Goolden Hall in Victoria. We made the trip from Campbell River which is a three hour drive normally, but with a 7 week old takes a little longer. Seeing you perform live had special meaning to me. When my daughter was born, your CD was one of the top five that played in the Disc player for about the first month. We danced around the living room for many hours and your music had a soothing effect. The concert was no different. Although she slept through your entire performance, I would like to believe that on a subconscious level hearing your music live will imprint on her memory. I would have introduced you to her after the performance, but it was passed her bedtime. We hope to see you perform again one day."D.& Z.

Request for Anthems

"Hi David, (and to Beth because I think I know you so well)

No doubt David you hear over and over how much people love your concerts. Not just the music but the wonderful stories. And as we had touched on, sometimes a person has to come from a not so nice place to come up with that. Thankfully counting blessings is not going to cramp creativity one little bit! I would really love to hear you do more “anthem-y” songs. Your voice, besides being wonderful at that intensity, has a marvelous essence.

Looking forward to seeing you again." K.I.

Last Night in Vermillion

"Hi – I was David Francey’s concert with Craig Werth last night in Vermilion, Alberta. As always, it was an absolutely wonderful show. I have been listening to the new album, Right of Passage, ever since, and it is terrific." L.S.

Thanks from a Wordsmith

"Mr. Francey,

A good morning to you.

First, I’m a fan of your music. While I haven’t had the pleasure of hearing you in person, I’ve spent many days working, driving, etc. with your songs playing during which I drift between active and passive listening. I appreciate the convergence of musicality and poetry! , and your ability to poetically articulate the essence and meaning of ‘place’. So, thanks for that!

Second, I grew up in a tiny town just south of the Manitoba-Minnesota border in an agricultural/small town, hockey culture. ‘Skating rink’ is the winters of my childhood; ‘Torn screen door’ names a reality quite close to home as well…among others. Cheers!

Finally, my lot and joy in life is working with words. I teach homiletics... Were my students (and myself for that matter) able to weave words toward an expression of reality as your lyrics, I’d feel quite good. So, thanks for the words!

All that said, best wishes."
